[0031] In the traditional process, in the process of synthesizing hydrazone by using batch reaction, BL-6 reacts with formaldehyde to generate by-product 1, the by-product can be subjected to subsequent reaction to generate isomer impurity 2, see the following side reaction equation: .

[0032] The application designs a continuous synthesis process, and optimizes the preparation of hydrazone from BL-6 oil phase and formaldehyde in a continuous hydrazone dynamic tubular reactor. Since the residence time is short and the reaction has little back mixing, formaldehyde and BL-6 are reacted at a suitable ratio, the yield of by-product 1 is reduced by 95% based on the original yield, the yield of impurity 2 (isomer of BL-7) is reduced by 95% due to the reduction of impurity 1, impurity 1 can continue to be subjected to subsequent reaction to generate impurity 2, isomer and BL-7 have similar physicochemical properties and can participate in subsequent reaction to generate propiconazole isomer, and it is difficult to remove, and the ring closure reaction is optimized to be carried out in a continuous ring closure static tubular reactor F-2, the residence time is short and the reaction has little back mixing, hydrazone, ammonium thiocyanate and dilute acid are reacted at a suitable ratio, and the yield of impurity 2 is reduced by 95% again, so that the final yield of impurity 2 is reduced by 90.25%.
